Have you ever wondered what your signature colours are? How you can figure out what they might be? In this short video with Jill Chivers of Shop Your Wardrobe and I discuss signature colours and how to wear them.
Did you know that one of your signature colours is the best colour for those multipurpose items such as shoes, bags, belts and coats? Find out more in this short video.
Thank you very much Jill and Imogen for a valuable lesson. I am in the process of doing something very close to what you are suggesting by narrowing my colors to signature type colors. I love how they look on me, the way they flow together and all mix and match. It makes me feel great!
Great video. Thanks a lot Imogen for sharing. I am wondering if you can give more examples of signature colors by using different models, especially a person with brown eyes, brown hair and white skin tone would be highly appreciated
Cheers!
I am guessing I can have a signature colour that does not actually appear on me, namely purple – that brings out my blue-green-grey eyes both in the glasses frame I have and the eye shadow I use?!
And can black be a signature colour even though my hair is (middle) brown, not black?
Although doesn’t apply to me or anyone in my family, but I too would be interested in what colours are best for someone with brown hair and brown eyes. I think those of us that have light coloured eyes have a simpler job as we just find a piece in the colour of our eyes or a complimentary colour for that colour, but someone who’s more uniform but still wants to wear colours may have more problems!
Susie – many people have purple tones in their skin and look fabulous in purple – it’s in their skin and lips.
Imogen, I wanted to tell you how much you have helped me since I found your blog. For most of my adult life I have struggled with understanding color and how to choose colors that suit me best. I have also generally hated shopping for clothes because of my lack of understanding why things didn’t look right. You have been so great at articulating why colors work and the concept of contrast, intensity, colors as we age, etc., etc…..It has completely liberated me. I have such a greater confidence because I finally feel like I get it. You made me get it!….. I am such a perfectionist (translation: “very critical”) and it really is such a huge deal to be set free from my hate of clothes shopping. I find my discouragement level has dramatically changed because I know what to gravitate towards and what to look out for in the stores. I just brought home the most darling winter coat that I wouldn’t have chosen had I not known what you’ve taught me…..Sorry, I know this is long. If you were here I’d throw my arms around your neck and give you a kiss. You really have blessed me in a profound way. Thank you.
Julie – thanks so much for your lovely feedback – this means so much to me!
I appreciate how much work and time goes into what you do here. I wanted to let you know it’s a great gift you give (free of charge, no less!)…..I’m all the way over in California. Isn’t the internet a lovely thing! xx
This was incredibly helpful! I had a real “ah-ha!” moment while watching it. Thanks for all you do to help us look our best.
Imogen – Can you address signature colors for redheads? I’ve found that rust colors a few shades darker than my hair look great on me, but the orange that matches my hair is just too much orange at once. Do you have any advise for we gingers?
